Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) is gearing up for UFC 235: “Jones vs Smith,” which takes place inside T-Mobile Arena this Saturday night (March 2, 2019) in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Light Heavyweight champion Jon Jones will headline the event as he defends his title against Anthony Smith just three months after knocking out Alexander Gustafsson at UFC 232 last December (see it again here). “Lionheart” is ready to hand “Bones” his first true defeat after storming his way to his first-ever championship fights with three blistering wins at 205-pounds.
In this episode, “Bones” runs into his old training partner-turned bitter rival, Rashad Evans, at the UFC Performance Institute. And by the look of things, “Bones” and Suga” are back to being cool. A great sight to see, indeed.
